Title: Bench Seat in a K5?
Post by: slammed79 on August 11, 2011, 10:48:04 pm

I'm still looking for a Blazer to tool around in so I can get some work done on my 74 C10.

I want to swap over a bench into whatever Blazer I end up with, has anyone done this, or know whats involved?

I plan on swapping my 73 windshield frame and doors over to make it a full convertable, and would love to have a bench in there so I can cuddle with my honey while cruisin.

You options are endless on the front seats of a Blazer since the floor are basically flat.  I would look at newer seating.  For the pickup seats you would have to built mounts.

I know several who have taken later model bench seats (40/60, and the ones with the center seat that folds into a console) into their K5.  Requires making custom brackets and thats about it....

I was thinking about a new seat, a 60/40 type with power, but I'm still undecided on what way to go with this yet, either barebones stripper truck or uber luxo. I'll just have to see what I end up with.

Thanks for the input guys.

I remember that Blazer! Whatever happened to him? He dissappeared from this site
